Even on his trip to the SL if you read the comments in the old threads it's more of the fact that a PROTOSS player is doing well than the fact that Anytime is "that good" that gave him all the hype to begin with. Beating those 3 Terran's isnt an easy feat by any means for any player, but Zergman beating July,Savior, and Chojja to win a SL through sheer ZvZ shouldn't be the damn near mental orgasm some people on this forum have every time Anytime's name is mentioned. He is not as good as people claim him to be AND he is in a group of death. Of the 4 players in that group he has the least chance to win period. | ||

Of the 4 players in that group he has the least chance to win period. you forgot that anytime raped his way through the challenge league and won it to gain the 4th seed to the OSL that he won. after winning his OSL, yes, he did poorly in his group and fell all the way back down to the offline qualifications. its a long road from the pcbang league to the OGN starleague, so for him to get back here within 1 season (eliminated from groups in Shinhan, missed Shinhan2006, qualified for Shinhan2006 2) is pretty damn good. i also dont think hes the clear underdog in the group. the way i see it, july and midas are the favorites and anytime and casy are the underdogs. it'd be hard to make predictions in this group, i would say: july = midas midas = casy casy = july july > anytime anytime = midas anytime > casy he hardly has the least chance to win. | ||

Iris picks Cloud. Commentator: Iris picked you as the easiest opponent, how do you feel about this? Cloud: I knew he would pick me, so I'm not too surprised. Commentator: What? Are you calling yourself the easiest player? Cloud: Till now, my style has been everyone's easiest player to beat. But now, with Casy's influence on me, I am no longer the old Cloud you know. I've been changing alot. I will show you that I'm no longer an easy player. Commentator: Now that you know he's not the same player you thought he was, do you feel any regrets? Iris: I can find out all I want about Cloud from XelloS(in same team as Iris). So I'm not worried. That's why I picked him... They've been friends for years and I've notice them gaming together alot. I have more than enough replays of him. Im confident. Cloud: (With "Oh Shit!" expression on his face) To tell you the truth, I really didn't play hard when I was playing against Xellos. It was just for fun. You won't get too much out of those reps. Commentator: But... aren't you(Iris) friends with Casy(who is in same team as Cloud) as well? Iris: Yes. Commentator: Then wouldn't Cloud have just as much as info(reps) as you do? Iris: I used the BOs I would never normally use in a real game. It's irrelevant. Commentator: Oh, I see. Nicely covered. Well I heard Cloud wasnt playing his 100% against Xellos. What do you think about that? Iris: Thats bullshit. I checked his apm. It was insanely high. So i don't think so. *giggles* Commentator: *laugh laugh* Iris says you were playing seriously. You had high apm. You still say you werent serious? Cloud: I had to practice micro.  I enjoyed watching it, it gave me alot of insights with their relationships. | ||

I hope he doesnt' end up being Xellos' disciple line.. altho he already is. Boxer - Oov - Boxer Xellos - Iris... Cloud - Casy - Cloud? Oh fackin boo.. I hope cloud wins. I didn't get to see the group stage pics yet. And I can't believe the Anytime hate... Anytime is awesome dude... Plus he is REALLY smart. You can see that in his builds. His PvZ is sorta bleh, as he uses an old style, but his PvT is awesome and I can't get how people forgettin how exciting his SL victory was... WTF people. Double Robo of Doom on 815 = thx gg oov | ||

That's because you only watch the small amount of VODs that you can scavenge online. AnyTime is one of the best protoss, considering his micro is VERY good while having a macro that rivals 박지호. He can easily take down the top players of ANY race. What makes you think that vs T is his best matchup? It isn't. Koreans don't see him as a lucky winner with DTs. He has the best micro and can actually accomplish such risky tactics. He is like 강민 back in 2002-2003, beating large armies with amazing control from his small armies. | ||

Kang Min is known for his proxy whackness, that is characteristically a Ra build, just like how Anytime has his own builds. I believe BO's are a part of 'smartness' I honestly wanted to say during Anytime's short time on top he reminds me of a lot of Garim elements but I didn't feel like explaining myself. However, Garim, Ra, and Anytime all share that 'something special' protoss creativity very few players have i.e. - Much, Tester, Daezang, etc don't. They are another style of Protoss players. I would DIE HAPPY if Anytime and Casy were the ones to make it out from their group. That would be so good, these are two young bloods I really really like plus they are both past champions responsible for their own team's sponsorship in a way. | ||
